It is interesting. As someone said, look at sports. In 1999 not that many athletes had a lot of tattoos. Same with music. If artists had tattoo's they had a few.

I remember in 2005 the only rappers with face tats were Wayne and Game. Now it's not even a noticeable thing. Damn near every new rapper has face tats and a number of old rappers.

It was a bit of a big deal with Mike Tyson got his face tat.

let's be real, it's a sign of the increasing number of young folk from all races growing up in broken homes. It's also a sign of the increasing androgyny due to...broken homes.

I don't mind tats but all these hoes gettin skulls and snakes and spiders and demon horns just look lost af with no purpose or hope for the future. hello kitty tats, kissy lips on the booty, brand logos...just bird brain shyt.

People loved women, weed and hip-hop twenty years ago but they weren't nearly as corrupted by nihilism

I agree with you for the most part. There seems to be a culture of nihilism and just not giving a fukk. Its trendy to appear nihilistic and careless about life nowdays. People think they're being unique and trendy but they're really just being sheep.

I dont mind tats as I have one, however you have to look at the intent behind why so many people are inking up their whole body. Many are doing it because they are impressionable and just weak minded individuals.

The same people that would run around screaming if the government forced them to get an ID card are the same people that created their own "distinguishing marks" free of charge and then uploaded them to the military database extension called the internet without a second thought.



It also shows you how easily vast swathes of people can be coerced to act in bizarre ways thanks to the influence of mass media and how it normalizes whatever they want you to believe.

Every fukking year around when it gets warm, these corny threads are made:snoop:

Shutup nikka :snooze:

For like the past 5 years:russ:
shyt is crazy. Used to be around summer that these weirdos came out, now it’s like every other month or something one of these cornballs complaining, or even worse patting themselves on the back. Straight weirdo shyt.
I always wanted a tattoo, but if I don't get one in the next two or three years I'll never get one.

Getting to the age where getting your first tattoo screams 'midlife crisis' :flabbynsick:
Nah. Not even. If it means something to you then get it. I’ve literally seen 50 year olds and older in the shop getting something done and they all have their reasons.
I’m of the opinion that you should either be fully covered up in ink or not at all

Motherfukkers with one tattoo floating on their arm looking all terrible :mjlol:
This literally makes no sense, but get those daps, breh.
